Early Acceptance Scholarship has become a golden opportunity for Indian students aiming to study in Australia, as Macquarie University in Sydney has rolled out this financial aid for the 2025–26 academic intake. The university is offering up to AUD 40,000 in tuition fee support to Indian nationals applying for undergraduate and postgraduate coursework degrees.
This scholarship is designed to encourage academically talented students from India by reducing financial barriers and supporting their journey through world-class education at one of Australia’s leading universities.
